I haven't made baba ghanoush recently. I should do that. Here is a link to some eggplant recipes. The croquettes look great.

That is really, really funny.

REALLY!!!!!!!!



Next time warn me to put my coffee down, I can no longer read my screen until I wash it!



Hysterical!

PC I made your dish. We loved it! It  ended  up very stew-like. I used  a poblano instead of the Bell low-pepper and I forgot the lemon. But it was so good.

[PurpleCat]

It is very stew like.  Most likely because I toss the whole can of beans and chick peas instead of measuring plus the olives.  So nice to know you liked it!

I take that chili to picnics and parents can not believe their kids love it!  I've converted many non egg plant eaters with it too!  I always wonder what the lemon juice does as I toss it in.

[Macabre]

Oooh. Also forgot the olives. We are low on kalamatas, but I did intend to use what we have. I also changed up the spices a bit. I used  fresh  oregano, thyme and Foxpoint from Penzey's. A bit of nutmeg, too.

I have never had eggplant before, but some of these recipes look really good.  The camp cook made it a lot for vegetarians.  I bet that DSD would really like trying it though.

I made an amazing Eggplant Parm Casserole the other night and have to share. Itbwas sooooo easy. DS and DH loved it. So did I!

My adaptations:
I had one eggplant (and I did have to look at the video to see how he cut it)
I didn't have ricotta but had cottage cheese
I didn't measure anything
I used an 8" or 9" square Pyrex dish

We'll definitely make this again!

I would totally make that, but baked eggplant brushed with olive oil and maybe use panko.

[Macabre]

Well, you do use some light olive oil when you are making them tender in the pan. But it's very little. They need this step so they can be folded like a taco for the ricotta mixture. I'll say that 1% cottage cheese worked quite well for this. I'd have to compare it to ricotta for  calories and fat when making it in the future, but this week I went purely with what we had on hand.

That looks yummy!  Will have to try it.

Do you like sour /pickled/relish-type things?  I can dig up some Russian eggplant recipes. 

[krasota]

Let's see if google books search results copy. 

Edited--didn't copy. 

So here's my old lj version:

That may not work, but I'm on the ipad at the moment. 

I've made this with tomatillo, since I can no longer do tomatoes.  I rarely make it, though, due to the histamine load.   Sometimes make the mentioned baklazhannaya ikra, eggplant "caviar".

[Macabre]

Oh wow. That sounds great!  I've got some tomatillos that need using.
